Atlas Copco XATS 900 Portable Diesel Compressor 900 cfm

The Atlas Copco XATS 900 is a high-productivity, trailer-mounted portable diesel rotary screw air compressor delivering 25.5 m³/min (900 cfm) of free air at a working pressure of 8.6 bar (125 psi). Powered by a 168 kW Cummins or Caterpillar diesel engine, the XATS 900 is the industry-standard portable compressor for medium to large DTH surface drilling applications, pneumatic rock breaking at construction sites, and sand-blasting operations at industrial maintenance facilities. Its single-stage rotary screw element produces continuous pulsation-free air delivery — the characteristic most critical for DTH hammer performance, where pulsed air flow from reciprocating compressors degrades penetration rate and bit life. The XATS 900's integrated electronic controller monitors oil temperature, air pressure, and engine load, automatically unloading the compressor when demand drops to reduce fuel consumption during idle periods — a meaningful operating cost reduction on sites where demand is intermittent.

For ARAMCO and SABIC construction sites across Saudi Arabia, the XATS 900 is the standard compressor specification for DTH blast-hole drilling supporting civil works including tank farm foundation excavation, jetty rock removal, and pipeline corridor blasting. ARAMCO's offshore and onshore construction projects regularly require rock blasting near existing process facilities, where the ability to supply a self-contained, trailer-mounted compressor without facility compressed air connections is essential. The XATS 900's weatherproof acoustic canopy reduces noise levels to 74 dB(A) at 7 metres — below the 80 dB(A) threshold requiring mandatory hearing protection under Saudi OSH regulations — allowing operation near occupied process areas during facility construction and maintenance turnarounds.

In Saudi Arabia's mineral exploration sector, the XATS 900 is the primary compressor for DTH percussion drilling programmes targeting hard rock mineralisation across the Arabian Shield. Survey teams and contracted drilling companies operating in remote locations hundreds of kilometres from power infrastructure rely on self-contained diesel compressors for complete drilling autonomy. The XATS 900's fuel tank capacity of 600 litres provides 24 hours of continuous drilling autonomy at standard fuel consumption rates, minimising resupply logistics for remote field campaigns. Its trailer-mounted configuration allows towing behind a standard 4×4 pickup or flatbed truck, simplifying mobilisation on desert tracks and gravel access roads to remote drill sites in the Hejaz, Asir, and Najd regions.

Razz Middle East holds stock of the Atlas Copco XATS 900 and provides rental and sales programmes adapted to the Saudi market, including short-term rental for construction season peak demand, long-term rental for multi-year exploration programmes, and outright purchase with local service support. Our technicians are trained and certified for XATS series compressor maintenance, and we maintain a comprehensive spare parts inventory for same-day support across the Kingdom.
